The paper presents a comparative study of three topologies of recently developed voltage-fed z-source inverter (ZSI) such as simple ZSI, quasi-ZSI and trans-ZSI. Different control techniques, proposed earlier for simple ZSI such as simple boost control, maximum boost control and constant boost control, have been applied here for all type of ZSI topologies. The detailed comparative evaluation of...

This paper describes the efficiency improvement technology of the 3D scroll compressors and the development of 3D scroll compressor for commercial air-conditioner. 3D scroll, our newly developed profile, can compress refrigerant not only radially but also axially. Therefore, higher compression ratio, higher reliability and larger capacity are obtained by introducing 3D scroll. Since the 3D scro...

The interaction and the function of some amino acids in hair care applications are discussed. When amino acids are applied to hair in the form of simple aqueous solution, uptake of the amino acids is mainly controlled by ionic equilibrium. When amino acids were incorporated in a hair conditioner, the result was quite different, suggesting the importance of interaction between the amino acids an...

<p>Modern shampoos are much more than just cleansing agents. With rising demands for new milder and ‘greener’ products, the developments in field of shampoo conditioners moving at a faster pace ever before. Soaps were initially used to clean scalp but not recommended hair because they leave behind soap scum when mixed with hard water that is difficult rinse from scalp. There different typ...

Differentiated Services is the most advanced method for traffic management which provides QoS. QoS is essential for today’s internet. QoS represents set of techniques necessary to manage throughput, packet loss and delay. Traffic Conditioners or Policers are the most important components of differentiated services. In this research, different Traffic Conditioners or Policers are compared on the...

This study evaluated the bond strength of veneering porcelain with an experimental conditioner-coated zirconia. Pre-sintered Y-TZP specimens (n = 44) were divided in two groups based on conditioning type. After sintering, all sample surfaces were sandblasted and layered with veneering porcelain. Additionally, half of the specimens in each group underwent thermal cycling (10,000 cycles, 5-55 °C)...

The Counters-Based Modified (CBM) traffic conditioner was presented in a previous work as a feasible election for the Assured Service implementation with DiffServ. In this work, we evaluate the end-to-end performance of TCP Reno sources with the CBM traffic conditioner in topologies with one and three network nodes under miscellaneous characteristics, i. e. variable contracted target rates and ...

Climate change as a result of human activities is a problem of a paramount importance. The global temperature on Earth is gradually increasing and it may lead to substantially hotter summers in a moderate belt of Europe, which in turn is likely to influence the air conditioning penetration in this region. The current work is an attempt to predict air conditioning penetration in different reside...

Abstract: Diamond disc pad conditioning is traditionally employed to restore pad planarity and surface roughness in chemical mechanical polishing (or planarisation) (CMP). In this paper, a conditioning density distribution model is developed to predict the pad surface shape resulted from the diamond disc conditioning in CMP. A kinematic study is carried out to calculate and simulate the diamond...
